A unique and interesting design of a miniature compact brooch, fabricated in an elongated rectangular form in a horizontal orientation with rounded bullet-like attachments on both sides. The front or face of the compact is divided into three sections and bordered with a raised gold lip. The two side segments are adorned with mostly black enamel and gold imbued geometric step-like pyramid designs. The center section is enhanced with a black enamel thick stripe design that leads into a scallop and geometric shape. Two encrusted diamond-set bands are set meeting a diamond plaque mirroring the form of the step pyramid with a large geometric diamond resembling a triangle and combined rectangle centered in the plaque. Black enamel and gold bands adorn the bullet-like attachments with cabochon sapphires decorating the top and bottom on each. The compact brooch could easily fit in the palm of your hand. The photograph captures the object in a landscape orientation where the front is visible with a cast shadow of a reflection and is mirrored on a white surface and ground.
